Different Perspective!

Today I came back from our Regular Monthly Manthan (Meeting) in Bangalore where I & my Partner spend a day discussing & reviewing with our Mentor & Chairman various strategic initiatives related to our company. One important aspect of these discussions is the Different Perspectives that get discussed. Perspective is the way individuals see the world. It comes from their personal point of view and is shaped by life experiences, values, their current state of mind, the assumptions they bring into a situation, and a whole lot of other things. For me, there’s great value in recognizing different perspectives in conversations because these enable us to hear and react to things very differently.

The key to successful relationships lies solely in our ability to take the different perspectives of another. Different Perspective-taking is that all-important skill of being able to look at things from a point of view other than our own. Different Perspective-taking brings in the mindfulness of compassion and empathy to our relationships. I believe when these two qualities are present in our interactions then mutual respect, success and movement forward are guaranteed, as happened in our case.

We need to appreciate the differences in perspective and therefore people. In fact, by embracing these differences we can better learn ourselves in ways we can’t imagine on our own. Success in life and business boils down to effective interactions, humility, self-awareness and the all-important skill of different perspective-taking. These elements are the keys to the success of any kind. As we move from one level to the next, we will see things from a totally different perspective. Never underestimate the power of different perspectives. It can change everything.

Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

Be Authentic, Do Uncomfortable Work And Surrender To The Outcome!

This week I saw this Ted Talk about the above. I could relate to it so much to my Journey. Authenticity for me is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s all about the choice to show up and be real, to be and to let out true selves be seen. It is also about being true to who we really are. Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are. Authenticity starts in the heart. If we are our authentic selves, we will have no competition. I believe Hard times arouse an instinctive desire in us to Be Authentic. As a part of our uneasiness towards change, we tend to resist anything that feels uncomfortable, scary, different and new. We tend to play small even, to resist being seen and evaluated. To resist the unknown. Being Uncomfortable brings engagement and change. Doing Uncomfortable work means we’re doing something that others were unlikely to do because they’re hiding out in their comfort zo...

Let Our Strengths Become Our Unstoppable Advantage

Image
Activate to view larger image, Summary: True competitive advantage comes not from trying to be perfect at everything, but from doubling down on our unique strengths until they become unstoppable advantage. When we focus on maximizing what we're naturally great at rather than fixing every weakness, we create unfair advantages that can overcome any competition. Key Takeaways: - Doubling down on our core strength can be more powerful than trying to be well-rounded in all areas - Confidence in leveraging our unique abilities often matters more than having multiple average skills - Success comes from maximizing strengths rather than minimizing weaknesses This week, I came across a fascinating article about Sania Mirza's "unfair advantage" that resonated deeply with my own experiences in business and life. The article described how Sania, despite criticism about her fitness and agility compared to other players, dominated matches through one devastating strength - her powe...
